The 7th Low Carbon City Development World Forum was successfully held in Tampere, Finland. Under the theme ”Systemic Transitions Towards Low-Carbon”, the forum addressed, through vibrant discussions, topics such as Systemic Architectures for Sustainable Urban Development (SASUI), smart mobility, revamping urban districts, industrial symbiosis, built environment, Internet of Things, and green hospitals.

To create more opportunities for communication and cooperation among the member organizations, the Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University together with the World Alliance for Low Carbon Cites (WALCC) decided to host an event titled “Shenzhen Low-carbon Building Seminar” to continue the dialogue under this specific topic. We have the honor to invite Dr. MAO Daqing, the Senior Vice President of Vanke Group, General Manager of Vanke Beijing, to give a keynote speech on green building topic. Meanwhile, we are glad to announce that Dr. MAO Daqing will become the adjunct research fellow at the Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, and be elected as a Board Member of the WALCC. Schneider Electric, KONE, Shenzhen Airport, and the Shenzhen Institute of Building Research will have senior representatives to share their opinions on green building with the seminar participants.
